Move viewport to top or delete to left of cursor

In History navigation, if the command line is empty, moves the viewport to the top of the buffer. Otherwise, deletes all characters to the left of the cursor.

Ctrl + Home

When to use it

Use in command prompt or terminal when you need to quickly jump to the beginning of the buffer or clear the current command line.

Pro tip

This shortcut combines two actions: viewport navigation and command line editing, saving you extra keystrokes.
